Finding and carefully picking out settings that offer ideal lighting conditions, access to natural landscapes and scenery that allow you to frame and compose killer shots, will ensure that your shoot has a fighting chance of being the absolute best it can be.

Here’s some tips to keep in mind when considering a particular location:

PRIVACYDepending on the type of photo shoot you have in mind, it will influence the degree of privacy that is expected from a particular spot.

TIMINGTiming your photo shoot perfectly is a must, particularly in those areas that are frequented by numerous people. Also, what type of light are you looking for? What atmosphere do you want in your pictures?

ACCESSIBILITYIs the area accessible by foot, car or boat? This is vital since it will determine the type of gear you need. Remember, the more difficult it is to access an area, the more the expenses tend to go up and up!
